Confusion in the Marketplace
[Verse 1]
Princess came to breakfast looking puffy from the Prednisone
Someone's little sister had me marching to the metronome
The Maharaji's on the mountain with a megaphone
Reaching for the secrets in the static on the stereo
[Verse 2]
There's something funny about the place that all the money goes
Coughing up the offering and in between his toes
Knew a couple kids from when I still went to shows
All the little hornets forming swarms around the honeycomb
[Chorus]
Searching for a purpose or just something we can celebrate
People take advantage of confusion in the marketplace
Hard to have much faith when they can't keep their story straight
[Verse 3]
Came back from the mission and her hair was in her mouth again
It's just another part of her, don't want to take the medicine
She won't miss the city but she'll miss all the friends
Said vice versa for me, man, vice versa for me
[Chorus]
Searching for a purpose or just something we can celebrate
People take advantage of confusion in the marketplace
I'll distract the manager and you obscure the license plates
Princess on the payphone with an angle on some Western states
We can take advantage of confusion in the marketplace
I don't wanna dick around, I just want to devastate
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Scoping out some dynamite and seeing if it detonates
People take advantage of confusion in the marketplace
You can turn the circles, yeah, and I can pull the parking brake
Princess on the payphone with an angle on some Western states
We can take advantage of confusion in the marketplace
I don't wanna dick around, I just want to devastate
